[D#] [B] January in the air is cold
Been a while since I heard my [D#m] mother's tone
Yet I know when I need her most
[G#] She [C#] lends me a [B] shoulder
[F#] Carries my grief like [C#] head and sand
[D#m] Even through the times I [B] wouldn't let her in
Now [F#] I'll never make the same mistake [C#] ever again
[G#m] Sometimes it takes a strong hand
Of a kind-hearted [B] mother [F#] to make a decent
Dig down [G] deep to find the [G#m] strength somewhere
[F#] [B] To withstand more than he [F#] can without her [C#] care
[F#] [G#m] Lately [F#] I've been calling [C#] home
[D#] Speaking to my [C#] brothers [B] on the phone
And we [F#] laugh as we're looking [C#] back
[D#m] [C#] Over [B] our shoulder
[F#] Laughing by games that we played to [C#] win
[D#m] And how [C#] we wouldn't let [B] each other in
I [F#] won't ever make the same mistakes ever [C#]
again
Sometimes [G#m] it takes a strong hand
Of a [B] kind-hearted brother [F#] to make a weak man
Dig down [D#] deep to find the [G#m] strength somewhere
[D#m] [B] To withstand more than he [F#] can without [C#] his care
It's [F#] [B] hard to think [F#] there was a time when I [C#] believed
I [D#m] would never [C#] see a [B] future
Now I [F#] can't see anything [C#] clearer
So [F#] [B] tonight [F#] I'm coming [C#] home
Can't bear to [D#m] think of you lying [B] there alone
Stroke your [F#] hair and [C#] I'll catch your back
[D#m] And right up over [B] your shoulder
[F#] Dive into your world [C#] like it's gonna end
Like [D#m] I may never [C#] get the chance [B] again
Everybody [F#] needs somebody on their thickened [C#] pen
[G#m] Sometimes it takes a strong hand
Of a kind-hearted woman [F#] to make a weak man
Dig down [D#] deep to find the [G#m] strength somewhere
[B] To withstand more than he [F#] can without [C#] her care
[F#] [G#m] Sometimes it takes a little planning
And a whole lot of understanding [F#] to make a weak man
Dig down deep [G] to find the [G#m] strength somewhere
[D#m] To [B] withstand more than [F#] he can without [C#] her care
[F#] Sometimes it [B] takes a strong hand
